Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (IMPRESSION) (3-1) - He's finished 2nd or 3rd in seven straight starts, with six of those coming on the grass at various distances. Speed/stalker has finished 2nd in three of four on this course and gets a slight edge today.
2nd pick: #5 (Amazon Cry) (7-2) - 4yo has finished 2nd in three of four when racing at this $50,000 claiming price. He has a flexible style, is from a winning barn (Phil D'Amato), and is a major threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Kopitar) (7-2) - Grey gelding stretches back out in distance while dropping down just a bit. Speed/stalker fits with his best and is dropping 12 lbs with apprentice Figueroa aboard.
4th pick: #7 (Starting Bloc) (4-1) - Nicely bred 4yo has been on the sidelines since Nov. 12. He finished 4th here facing tougher at this trip that afternoon and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Dangerous if ready.
